Tomato

A drink dispenser on Enterprise

Tomatoes are plants that are widely used for food. Tomatoes originate on Earth, although they have been known to be cultivated in otherworldly varieties. While tomatoes are technically classified as fruit, for the culinary purposes they are vegetable matter.

Tomatoes can be made into a juice, which is very popular. Tomato juice was one of several beverages available on the drink dispensers on the Enterprise NX-01. (ENT: "Terra Prime")

A holographic simulation of the Café des Artistes of 2342 had menus that listed a croissant available with cheese sauce and fresh tomatoes. (TNG: "We'll Always Have Paris")

Stewed tomatoes and dehydrated eggs were a component of a Starfleet ration pack, "ration pack 5". (VOY: "Phage")

This ration pack was described, not by name, but by its contents, in Pocket TOS: "To Reign in Hell: The Exile of Khan Noonien Singh", a non-canon novel.

The acronym BLT stands for Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato. It was also B'Elanna Torres' nickname (as well as her initials) while she was at Starfleet Academy. (VOY: "Equinox")
